Mayurasana, like many poses, is a microcosm of a journey, an inner alchemy.
It requires a heaviness - we must meet the ground fully.
Through trial, and inevitable failure, we learn how to shift.
Eventually the paradox happens.
The same force that could collapse us becomes the very same force that elevates us

What feels like resistance becomes relationship;
what once held us down becomes the very thing that teaches us to rise

some thoughts about where yoga leads me and meditation takes me - the practice that has no conclusion, only wisdom if we really listen

Happy Mother’s Day

I recently wrote a tribute to Goddess Pārvatī in my latest newsletter, honouring the profound importance of mothers.

In summary, let Pārvatī’s divine qualities inspire and remind:

You display devotion, gentle love and strength wrapped in grace.
You embody Pārvatī in that life sustaining protective power.
A mountain born resilience, for Pārvatī means Daughter of Mountains.
She reminds us that enduring strength and nurturing softness are complementary aspects of awakened energy - Shiva (pure consciousness) & Shakti (divine feminine energy) combined

Consciousness without energy is inert.
Energy without consciousness is chaotic.
Yoga is their union.

Happy New Year! 🥂🤍🌝

Our schedule will be back in full swing from tomorrow. Kicking off with Assisted Self Practice from 7am - 9:30am. Arrive when suits you.
(Take care on the roads, there is no hurry to arrive early ❄️)

❓If you’re curious about this class, or looking to add another class to your week then I have just released an “Intro to Self Practice” 6week course.
There are *four* spaces available.

The course is:
6 Saturdays from Jan 10th, 7am-8am (45mins of guidance)
at Manor Farm, Fenny Compton

Depending on uptake this will still leave atleast 8spaces for seasoned mysore yogis, and I will be available to assist you from 7:45/ 8am.

I believe this will be a nice way to introduce and integrate different levels of practitioners, in the mysore environment.

Please feel free to share with anyone you know who has been expressing interest 🤍
